ABOUT THE FOUNDER

My name is Dwayne Magnusson, and along with my wife and two kids, we own and operate Magnusson Alaskan Outfitters (MAO). Living in Alaska and pursuing my passion for hunting and fishing is a dream come true. Raised in Washington State in a commercial fishing family, I developed a deep love for the outdoors early on. After high school, I spent a few summers on a commercial salmon fishing boat in Alaska, which only fueled my excitement for this incredible state.

In 2003, after finishing college, I moved to Alaska permanently, working as a packer for an outfitter and securing a job as a commercial pilot. My experiences in Alaska led me to explore guiding, and since then, I’ve successfully hunted and guided most of the big game animals the state has to offer. With over 20 years of experience flying in Alaska, guiding and adventuring in Alaska, I’ve developed the skills and knowledge to navigate its unique challenges.

Over the years, I’ve guided for various outfitters, building friendships and gaining the experience needed to run my own operation. My qualifications as a Registered Guide Outfitter, combined with my passion for the outdoors and strong work ethic, allow me to offer an incredible Alaskan guided experience.
